Come sip your way into the heart of Ayurveda as you learn how to make herbal teas, moonlit infusions and wholesome brews.
This is an invitation to dive into the wisdom of Ayurveda with Dr Ajita Patel and connect to all our ancient cultures that made tea drinking a tradition for healing and connecting to one another.
Step into the gentle embrace of tradition and nature with “The Art of Tea.” This is more than a workshop—it’s an invitation to savor the ancient whispers of Chai, to awaken the senses with herbal infusions, and to find balance and harmony through moonlit brews and Ayurvedic wisdom. Here, every sip tells a story, every aroma stirs a memory, and every herb holds a secret waiting to be shared.
We will share recipes of the teas and meals, slides of the presentations and include a booklet of herbs, their benefits and how to use them.
We will begin and end each day with restorative yoga, powerful pranayam and guided meditation to deeply relax you and restore balance. With 3 wholesome plant based meals, workshops and hiking in the gentle embrace of rolling hills, sweeping panoramic views and the tranquil energy of Vedanta retreat center, you will come away inspired, rejuvenated and ready to integrate wholesome habits into your life.
This retreat is for anyone interested in health and wellness, herbal medicine, Ayurveda, yoga, or simply wanting to meet others on the path of living mindfully.
Let the warmth of spiced Chai cradle your spirit. Journey through its rich history and cultural essence, and learn to craft this comforting elixir with hands that echo generations of tradition.
